I submitted a previous review in which I said I was unable to get this model to work with Windows 10 with Realtec High Definition audio card. I have seen been able to do so. I wish to withdraw my early criticism based on that problem. (As I see it, the problem was with Windows 10, but I am not expert.)

The ATR4750 requires connection to a dedicated/labeled 3.5mm microphone input that supplies bias voltage. This can be found on most PC computers. Because it's an analog external microphone, you will likely not see a pop-up in your Windows System Tray, nor will you see any "installation" take place.

However, to receive assistance setting up your product, please contact the Audio-Technica United States (ATUS) Audio Solutions Team at:audio-solutions@atus.com

Q:

I tried installing the ATR4750 mic on a splitter adapter on my laptop running Window 10 Pro. The splitter is plugged into the mic jack and is supposed to accommodate a mic AND external speakers. Speakers work fine. Can't get the mic to work. Any help?

Q:

ATR4750-It appears that the cable does not go down thru the hole in the base stand but doubles back with the shaft and comes out the top of the base. If not I can't get the plug through the hole in the base. I'm afraid of damaging something by having the cable or wire double back along the shaft

Since the ATR4750 is not a USB type device, it is not going to "recognized" by a computer. What you should see after connecting a standard analog microphone to a Mac however is the INPUT device in the Sound properties window change from Internal microphone to Line In (Audio line-in port).Here is the problem. It is a LINE level input, not a MIC level input. A Line level input is expecting a much higher (around 50 dB higher) level signal than that which is provided by an external microphone. Mac computers do not have MIC level inputs on them.You may want to use either a USB microphone, or a USB audio adapter with your ATR4750 and connect it to the USB port on your computer. Besides simplifying connectivity, the USB port on a computer typically provides much less noise compared to the 3.5mm Mic In or Line In jacks. Our ATR2USB 3.5mm to USB Adapter will adapt your microphone to a USB port.

Q:

Will this work on a Mac?

You guys said that it should work with any computer. Now that macs have had microphone ports for a while will this mic work on Macs?

Thank you for your inquiry. I was not aware of Macs changing their inputs.

Q:

Is this microphone copability with Window 8 desktop ?

I plug the Microphone to computer's microphone jack, shows connected but can't get any music sound when I play music in computer through speaker. My computer is HP ENVY h8-1500z. Looks this microphone not record any sound, please give a solution.

Plainly put, there is no "driver" associated with this microphone, apart from what should already be a part of your computer's Operating System.

Generally speaking, the microphone would be Plug-And-Play. However, three caveats to this would be:

1. If you are using a PC, please thoroughly review the following page to make certain you are setup properly.http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Connect-a-microphone-music-player-or-other-audio-device-to-your-computer

2. Use with a Mac. Mac computers do not have "microphone" inputs. Rather, they have low-level "Line" inputs.

3. In either case, use will likely be software dependent. That means you will need some sort of recording program (as with any microphone) for proper use. This software will also need to be configured to match the audio settings of your computer

For ease of use with any computer, you might want to take a look at the ATR2USB, which is a microphone/headphone USB adapter.
